摘要: Purpose Cetuximab is efficient in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). We previously showed that KRAS mutations were associated with resistance to cetuximab 30 CRC patients. The aim of this study was validate, an independent larger series 89 patients, the prognostic value on response and survival. Patients Methods Eighty-nine metastatic patients treated after treatment failure irinotecan-based chemotherapy analyzed for mutation by allelic discrimination tumor DNA. association between response, skin toxicity, progression-free survival (PFS) overall (OS) analyzed. Results A present 27% (0% v 40% responders among 24 mutated 65 nonmutated respectively; P < .001) a poorer (median PFS: 10.1 31.4 weeks without mutation; = .0001; median OS: 14.3 mon...
